Mendoza, Argentina
Founded in 1902, Bodega Catena Zapata is perhaps the most famous winery in Argentina and has been at the forefront of resurrecting the Malbec grape variety whilst establishing itself as one of the pre-eminent fine wine producers in the country. This wine takes its name from a small parcel of the revered Adrianna Vineyard that is covered with oval white stones that came from of an ancient riverbed. The stones provide excellent drainage and also moderate the temperature fluctuations experienced at such high altitude, absorbing heat during the day to be radiated back out during the cooler nights and acting like ice cubes after a particularly cold night.

This is an extremely aromatic, rich and powerful style of Malbec, yet offers wonderful elegance and detail. Luis Gutierrez awarded the 2016 a perfect 100-point score in The Wine Advocate.
